Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram, has released a new ‘proof of life’ video showing some of the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped from Chibok, in north east Nigeria, over two years ago. In the video, the terrorist group confirms long held fears about the state of the girls: about forty of the kidnapped girls have been married off while an unspecified number have been killed by Nigerian airstrikes. The group also claims some of the girls sustained injuries as a result of the airstrikes.

Boko Haram offered the release of the girls in exchange for some of its imprisoned members. “This in short is our message to the Federal Government and the parents of the Chibok Girls: as long as the government does not release our people, we will also never release these girls,” a masked man said in Hausa, one of Nigeria’s main languages.
